Not only that but that evil little town should be branded as the sickest, slimiest place in the whole USA. Those motherfuckers ALL proved themselves guilty by their own actions. Every scummy one of them.

In that scummy town the GIRL got vigilante justice. The VICTIM. And you worry about the motherfuckers who RAPED HER AND POSTED THE VIDEOS ONLINE???? Fuck that shit.

Apparently even the poor family's supporters in the town should be punished too by punishing the whole town.

i`m thinking a lot of denial of service and other tricks of the trade... i hope anonymous kicks the shit out of those so called officials.

Denial of service attack is vigilantism. Knock out the local police force communications right when they are responding to another rape or arson? Not wise.

This man Matthew Barnett is a scumbag rapist. His crime should follow him for the rest of his life.

Already tried and convicted by that poster.

calimary recommends vigilante penectomy:

Let's turn him over to Lorena Bobbitt. Her solution seems fitting for this crime.

calimary recommends eye-for-an-eye vigliantism:

Start hanging it around their necks like a big fat millstone. So they can't escape. May it eventually run THEM out of town!!!

Normally I'm not a fan of vigilante justice.... However, this is a case that DEMANDS it. To begin with, a 14 year old girl cannot legally consent, and that's just for starters. This guy is a complete schitthead in so many ways I can't even begin to count them. He deserves whatever he gets. I hope it's nasty, I hope it's ugly, and I hope it's real soon.

seabeyond trashed the teenagers right to protection under the law from vigilantes:

when justice is not served, ignored, blatantly denied, then sloppy is going to happen. tough fuckin shit. they lost all rights to consideration

Posting this young man's picture and identifying him as guilty is the 21st century version {of vigilante justice}

I understand the outrage at what happened in Maryville. But there have been multiple instances in the internet age when the wrong person was identified as guilty of a crime, and spent a considerable amount of their lives trying to live that down. Yet, the wise denizens of DU, none of whom I would guess have ever met the alleged perp or victim, are willing to post the young man's picture without benefit of a trial or evidence that they have reviewed, and proclaim him guilty. If he is in fact NOT guilty, that will forever alter his ability to get a job or otherwise defend his reputation. That is the 21st century version of vigilante justice..
